House of the Pythia

The House of the Pythia was the most lavish house in the Chora of Delphi in Phokis, Greece. The home was assigned to the Oracle of Delphi when she was not at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in the Sanctuary of Delphi, and, during the 5th century BC, the Cult of Kosmos sent men to guard her in order to ensure her protection and to ensure that she obeyed the Cult. In 431 BC, the Spartan mercenary Kassandra killed Kerkyon and the other guards before breaking into the hous eand interrogating the Pythia.
